Larry,
I've been hunting (with the MR7) for now. I'll hold off the range until after Thanksgiving, but I will keep y'all posted!

"After every 3 round shot group, I clean the barrel using my Otis cable system, running the brush through five times with Break Free, then pull through the patches through until they come out clean."
Jon, The military has Break Free everywhere. I wish I had a dollar for every young GI with "found" Break Free that showed up at my Rod and Gun Club range while I was the range master there. They could not hit a bull in the butt with a base fiddle with their "cleaned" guns. You just got a lesson in Break Free in a bore, first hand. Bad news is this, I have seen it take many, many rounds to clear the effects. The crap will not come out any other way, but to shoot it out. It is a lubricant that contains a polymer and it coats the inside of a bore......it is not a bore solvent or a bore cleaner or a proper bore treatment, and never has been or will be. Put it all over your gun, drink it if you wish, but do not put it in the bore of a gun. Go get a shotgun solvent that dissolves wad residue and scrub the pee out of your bore, it might help, that is might. Otherwise, shoot and scrub, shoot and scrub with Shooters Choice Copper Solvent, unitl the accuracy returns. Ed

Let's look at this from another angle. Shoot your 3 shot group but don't clean the barrel. let cool as normal and shoot another 3 rounds. Some rifles shoot better with a fouled barrel. My custom .35 Whelen will shoot abut a 1.5" three shot group from a totally clean barrel. After cooling, the next and following groups will run from .50" to .75" as long as I do my part. Clean the barrel and groups open up again.
FWIW, I do not believe in that barrel break in BS. The late barrel maker gale McMillan would void the warranty on his barrels if the shooter did a break in process. He felt that all breaking in did was make a barrel wear out a little sooner. He felt that normal shooting would take care of any breaking in a barrel might need. I have five rifles with custom barrel. None have gone though any special breaking in and four of the five are sub-MOA and the one that is not has olny had maybe 40 rounds through it. It's a .308 BTW. Right now it's about a 1.15" shooter. I expect that will shrink down some. Paul B.
